Have you pulled the plugs again? If #2 is wet again then it is specific to that cylinder and won't be the coil. A wet plug indicates no spark on that cylinder.

One cylinder only is indicative of a problem after the coil i.e. dizzy (points, rotor, cap, leads), plugs, valve adjustment etc.

Give it a tune up, check plugs and plug gaps, check ignition lead resistances (the longer they are the more resistance), check leads are firmly inserted into cap, etc...

Hi Guys

Just Checked my Ignition coil

It has got these rating
+ and - of coils resistance is 2.6 Ohms
either + or negative with High end side 11080 Ohms

According to wiki specs this is out
* Primary (12V) Resistance @ 20C/68F temperature: 1.17 to 1.43 ohms

Secondary (high voltage) Resistance @ 20C/68F temperature: 11,200 to 16,800 ohms

what do you think guys ?


thanks

Sumith,
I don't think your country is famous for high quality fuels...certainly not in some regions.
It's most likely just a poor fuel issue. Maybe it is time to buy a compression tester guage.. They can be bought for between $30 - $200 at the auto accessories shops. Assuming you have them over there!?
It would be a handy addition to the tool box if you are going to keep "cars" as a hobby.

If its not dark enough to see the spark try touching all of the lead ends with the motor running, you will know for sure if there is a jumping spark!

Check the resistance of the ignition leads, can't remember the value they should be (far to long ago!) but you will notice if one is a lot higher value than the rest.
